Sweet! I particularly like the "Mad Max" background for the quick snap of a very shiny E53 .....

Man does that look good. Nice shot. I need me some of those running boards.

Why not matching titanium hood grilles though?

Thanks mate. Ironically, this shot was taken at the old Geelong Cement plant, which is at the end of the Geelong - Melbourne road - which is exactly where Mad Max 1 was filmed! Excellent pickup!!

Thanks, I replaced the front grills with eBay specials - they are a surprisingly good quality - have not been able to find matching good grilles. Mine look a bit ratty, plastic is fading, was considering removing them and painting sapphire black?

I went to put my led tails in, only to find one has had some serious cosmetic damage. The lens is totally marred. Super lame since I thought I checked all of them, but must have missed one in all of the excitement.

replaced broken door handle carrier - I bought 2 brand new OE carriers off ebay for $20 delivered, and today was a nice (but cold) day, so I knocked it out...

As suspected, the window clips are broken, and need replacement - since I am not at home with my stash of the clips, I need to buy the clips for glass, and clips for the door trim, as some of them are guaranteed to break... Dealer opens on monday, so I hope the glass will hold couple more days...

I finished up the reverse camera install today on my Avin Avant 2 setup. Thanks again to Term for his invaluable information.





I wired a red LED into the circuit for diagnostic purposes (I'm nerdy). Turns red when the relay is switched and power is sent to the camera and reverse signal wire on the Avin.

Good work crystalworks. What colour was the wire at pin 7 for you - yellow/brown?

To me it looked like brown/white stripe on pin 7. And the ground on pin 6 was brown/black stripe. I posted in your lost PDC thread as well with them.

Edit: Just looked at my pics... wire could be considered brown/yellow stripe I suppose, but I still lean towards white.
